Harper has a place, but not at the price he's being paid. We know he can't cover worth a shit, but he plays very well inside the box, basically acting as a rover.

CB: Lewis/Greer/Jenkins (nickel)/Robinson/White (could also act as a Safety) S:Harper Vaccaro (who can also slide into the nickel spot)/IAQ/Jenkins

Ryan could get creative with these guys and use them to their strengths.

This backfield unit could work fairly well in the 3-4 scheme. Lewis and Vaccaro are much more physical than what we've previously had. I think it will all come down to how well the pass rush works honestly, but I am confident Rob Ryan will get pressure, especially in a 3-4 where it's easier.

I forgot he actually started 6 games at CB his rookie year because of injuries to Greer and Porter. I guess he did do okay on the outside. Still like him more as a big nickel that can neutralize small slot guys though.

What does that have to do with anything?

Robinson was our nickel guy until last year really. Greer and Porter were always 1&2. If you're talking about putting Jenkins at nickel, you're obviously bumping Robinson off the field in that formation. So what do you do with Robinson when your 1&2 is now Greer and Lewis?
